    #148: How Quickly Should You Increase Your Weights?
    Dec 9 2025

    If you want to get stronger, look toned again, improve your metabolic health, and age well, you need to be building muscle. And to build muscle, you have to keep challenging your body as it gets stronger. And one way to increase the challenge is to increase weights.

    But how fast should you be increasing your weights?


    In this episode, I break down:

    • Why form always comes first

    • When you’re actually ready to go up in weight (hint: it’s not every session)

    • Practical tips: fractional plates, slow eccentrics, and adding plates to weight stacks


    P.S. In the last two episodes, I explained what progressive strength training is and the three ways you can apply progressive overload so check those out for more insights into getting the most out of the time you spend training.


    Resources mentioned:

    • Fractional plates

    • FlipStik phone mount for form videos

    #147: 3 Kinds of Progressive Overload and Practical Tips to Use Them
    Dec 2 2025

    If you're a woman in midlife and you are looking to get your body back to start feeling strong, looking toned, and recognizing the woman in the mirror again, then you need to be doing progressive strength training.


    Progressive strength training is a very systematic way of lifting weights where you apply progressive overload - one of the keys to building strength and muscle effectively.


    In this episode, I describe the 3 different ways that you can apply progressive overload and provide tips on how that looks in real life.


    BTW - If you missed last week’s episode, listen to part 1 first, where I explain why this kind of systematic approach is the most effective way to get results from the time you're spending working out with weights.


    Enjoy the show!
